FIA race director Charlie Whiting has been handed greater discretion over the use of DRS in wet conditions, as part of some minor tweaks to Formula 1's Sporting Regulations for 2012.
The governing body's World Motor Sport Council met for the first time this year in Milan on Friday and rubber stamped three changes to the regulations agreed on by the F1 Commission.
With a view to safety concerns over the large speed differentials between cars in the wet, it was agreed that Whiting may now ban the use of the adjustable rear wing if he "feels visibility is too poor in wet conditions".Also regarding wet-weather running, the FIA confirmed that teams may now carry one set of slick tyres into the Saturday of a grand prix weekend if both Friday practice sessions are declared wet.The FIA has also agreed to simplify the regulations regarding team personnel curfews to ensure that rest periods remain constant throughout the season so to avoid any confusion. - http://www1.skysports.com/
